Independence Day Special - Bollywood films that presented Patriotism with a difference

From
‘Bharat Kumar’ aka Manoj Kumar to present day movie maverick Rajkumar Hirani,
almost every second filmmakers has experimented with the age old formula of
‘Patriotism’ in Bollywood. On this Independence Day Raaga.Com picks top 3
Bollywood films that depicted patriotism with difference

A WEDNESDAY

Debutant
filmmaker Neeraj Pandey deserves kudos for portraying the topic of patriotism
with a difference. Unlike movies depicting foreign nationalist or terrorist
creating trouble in India, the movie depicted how a simple and earthy common in
his 60’s shakes the police machinery and gets the culprits of terror 7/11
attack in Mumbai eliminated using his brilliance.

The
movie showcased that India was no longer willing to be at the mercy of a
hapless government. Both Naseeruddin Shah and Anupam Kher played their roles
brilliantly.

RANG DE BASANTI

Rakeysh
Omprakash Mehra’s RANG DE BASANTI shall go down in the annals of Indian cinema
as a patriotic movie par excellence.

In the age of computer and technology Rakeysh
Omprakash Mehra presented the historic tale of Bhagat Singh, the young
revolutionary who was hanged by the British at the age of 23,

What made the movie different was Mehra’s
excellent script that drew parallels with the atrocities and vices of British
government with that of prevailing democratic government in modern India.

CHAK DE! INDIA

Based
on the true story of India’s hockey captain Mir Ranjan Negi who was accused of
favoring win to Pakistan team because he was a Muslim, the movie depicted when
it comes to sport patriotism takes over emotions and religion takes a backseat.

Shah
Rukh Khan played the role of Mir Ranjan Negi, who after being disgraced from
the Indian hockey on charges of a being a traitor becomes the coach the Indian
women’s hockey team and helps them win thus cleaning the blot of a traitor!
